problem with my CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP fix from October 7th that caused a NULL
  pointer read. I also took the opportunity to clean up this logic (storing of
  the connection's IP address) somewhat as we had it stored in two different
  places and ways previously and they are now unified.

And on the other hand a message after setsockopt() certainly must use SOCKERRNO.

address could be chosen instead of an IPv4 one for --interface when it
involved a name lookup.

  parser to allow numerical IPv6-addresses to be specified with the scope
  given, as per RFC4007 - with a percent letter that itself needs to be URL
  escaped. For example, for an address of fe80::1234%1 the HTTP URL is:
  "http://[fe80::1234%251]/"

  used IP address. Modified test case 500 to also verify this feature. The
  implementing of this feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.

  since libcurl used getprotobyname() and that isn't thread-safe. We now
  switched to use IPPROTO_TCP unconditionally, but perhaps the proper fix is
  to detect the thread-safe version of the function and use that.

  them all use the same (hopefully correct) logic to make it less error-prone
  and easier to introduce library-wide where it should be used.

consistency

This happened because the tftp code always uncondionally did a bind()
without caring if one already had been done and then it failed. I wrote a
test case (1009) to verify this, but it is a bit error-prone since it will
have to pick a fixed local port number and since the tests are run on so
many different hosts in different situations I add it in disabled state.

warnings, one C99 thing and the bad pointer sent to the callback

CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA to set a callback that allows an application to replace
the socket() call used by libcurl. It basically allows the app to change
address, protocol or whatever of the socket. (I also did some whitespace
indent/cleanups in lib/url.c which kind of hides some of these changes, sorry
for mixing those in.)

and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were
removed.  In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary)
compatibility with the old names.  These macros are subject to removal at
a future date, but probably not before 2009.  An application can be
tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the
CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined.

passed to it with curl_easy_setopt()! Previously it has always just refered
to the data, forcing the user to keep the data around until libcurl is done
with it. That is now history and libcurl will instead clone the given
strings and keep private copies.

  function that deprecates the curl_multi_socket() function. Using the new
  function the application tell libcurl what action that was found in the
  socket that it passes in. This gives a significant performance boost as it
  allows libcurl to avoid a call to poll()/select() for every call to
  curl_multi_socket*().
